informaworld:Important information for Library Account Administrators
Apologies for cross posting
During the course of this week Taylor & Francis Group aims to remove the
beta sign from informaworld. informaworld is the new web portal for Taylor
& Francis Group and Informa Healthcare journals, ebooks, abstract databases
and reference works. We are writing to advise you of how this will affect
you, and of what changes you will need to make.
***************************************************************
For customers who currently access subscriptions via MetaPress:
MetaPress access to Taylor & Francis Group journals will no longer be
available from January 2007. The taylorandfrancis.metapress.com and
journalsonline.tandf.co.uk hostnames will be mapped to
www.informaworld.com, so users will be automatically redirected to the new
site. However we are advising customers to update OPAC links as soon as
possible to ensure stability. We are working with companies who provide
link resolvers and more information on this is included later in this
message.
We have emailed all registered MetaPress administrators with their
usernames and passwords. Those administrators should now log in to
informaworld and change their password to something memorable. If you do
not have this username and password, please register your detail at:
http://www.informaworld.com/controlpanel~mode=register?
action=regcreate®type=inst and our online team will assist you.
*****************************************************************
